Highlights

Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire National Park - After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel/accommodation in Arusha at 9am sharp for a 1-hour drive to Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire National Park.

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park - After breakfast, we will head towards Serengeti National Park, passing through the scenic highlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descending into the heart of wild Africa, we reach the Serengeti National Park, known for its endless plains stretching as far as the eye can see. We will go to the central park area, the Seronera area, which is one of the park’s richest wildlife habitats. The Seronera River here attracts a variety of wildlife representative of most Serengeti species. We will arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park. Dinner and overnight stay will be at Nguchiro camp.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Simba camp

Serengeti National Park - We will start the day with an early morning game drive. You will return to the camp at 11:30am for brunch before heading out for another game drive in the park. The Seronera region offers a chance to see wildebeests and zebras up close, along with predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards. After lunch, we will continue our journey to Ngorongoro Simba camp for dinner and an overnight stay, where you can enjoy views of the 600m-long collapsed volcano.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Conservation Area - An early departure from the campsite is essential for the best game-spotting opportunities in the Ngorongoro Crater. We will have a picnic lunch inside the crater. Millions of years ago, the crater was a massive volcano, possibly taller than Mount Kilimanjaro. The crater’s unique structure encourages animals to stay within its walls, making it ideal for spotting the ‘big five.’ Other species you might see include zebra, hippo, wildebeest, and hyenas. The crater’s lush flora and fauna are remarkable, earning it the nickname ‘Africa’s Garden of Eden.’ Storks, geese, and flamingos are often seen near the Soda Lake. Your guide will use their skills to locate hidden animals. The game drive will end in the late afternoon, and we will proceed to Moshi. Transportation to the airport can be arranged.

Truly exceptional - My brother and I climbed Kilimanjaro and did a four-day safari with Joining Safaris in July 2025. They were truly exceptional in every respect - from planning and travel logistics through to the climb and to our safari post-hike. Erick was very responsive and helpful with planning, and made organization easy. The company thinks of everything from start to finish to make sure you and your party are well-attended to, from airport pick-ups and drop-offs to meals and equipment rentals. They were great about accommodating and customizing our schedule; Erick even took the time to personally show us around Moshi when we finished our hike a day early. They added lovely personal touches throughout the trip and truly began to feel like friends by the end of our visit. Kim and Aloyce (Kilimanjaro) were our highly knowledgeable, attentive, and organized guides on our Kilimanjaro climb; we cannot recommend them enough. They monitored our health day and night, answered all of our questions patiently, and planned every step of our journey to make sure it was the experience of a lifetime. Aloyce even helped me put my gloves on when my hands were freezing at the summit, and Kim (aka Kimbo Slice!) was our fearless leader, keeping us on track and making sure we were all fed, healthy and prepared, even thinking to bring ginger tea to warm us up on summit night. Special thanks also to the porters on our journey, who took wonderful care of us and hiked out to greet and cheer us on as we descended from Uhuru Peak. Emmanuel and Baraka (safari) similarly gave us the most unforgettable safari experience - we were simply amazed and in wonder for the entire four days. Emmanuel had the answers to our endless questions about the animals, was unfailingly kind and patient, and has really quite remarkable eyesight for spotting wildlife! (Thanks to his impressive spotting of both a rhino and a leopard, we managed to spot all of the Big Five!) Baraka's delicious cooking meant that we never went hungry, and in fact had some amazing bush picnics and breakfast alongside hippos in Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania stole our hearts, in no small part thanks to this company and its warm, thoughtful, superb staff. We thoroughly recommend for your Tanzanian adventure.
